Our read

This is a pure sprinting spike aimed at the 100–400m range, not a distance or training shoe. Its aggressive plate and removable pins deliver explosive grip off the blocks, while the barely-there Atomknit upper keeps weight minimal. Anyone shopping for a versatile track shoe should look elsewhere; this is a specialist.

Ride

Firm, aggressive and responsive with a stiff plate for power transfer; a cushioned heel pad adds a touch of comfort but this is a rigid sprint platform.

Fit

Fit runs narrow and small; reviewers strongly recommend sizing up a half to full size for a proper lockdown.

Best for

Sprinters racing and training in 100m to 400m track events who want an explosive, lightweight spike.

Avoid if

You need anything beyond short sprints, want cushioning for distance, or have wider feet.
